Telangana Darshini: Heritage School Trips for Students
Hyderabad.28.09.2024: The Telangana government is set to launch a new project called ‘Telangana Darshini’ aimed at educating students about the state’s rich heritage. This initiative, led by the Tourism and Culture department, will offer state-sponsored tours for students from class 2 to undergraduate level, allowing them to visit important monuments and heritage sites.
The project is divided into four categories:
- Category 1: For students in classes 2 to 4, there will be day trips to local heritage sites within their village or mandal.
- Category 2: Students in classes 5 to 8 will visit sites within a 20-30 km range for day trips.
- Category 3: Students from class 9 to intermediate level will take two-day trips to places 50-70 km away.
- Category 4: Undergraduate students will embark on four-day trips to heritage locations outside their district but within the state.
The Telangana government has allocated Rs 12.10 crore to fund trips for one lakh students. This expenditure will be covered by the departments of tourism, education, SC development, tribal welfare, and others from their available resources.
The Telangana Darshini project aims not only to inspire students but also to boost the local economy by encouraging tourism and related businesses.
